Re: 2000 SA50P jet and throttle cable questions

bleeding off too much pressure by opening up the back of the exhaust can reduce the resonance of the exhaust and make less power.

Re: AF05 problems - tuning my 92 elite

Re: Dustbin Elite.... Ever seen one?

I have spent hours with rubbing compound yesterday and I do have a much blacker fairing. What is that - Shadow replacement wi...
